World water resources seem to be abundant;
however, only 0.7% of this total amount is usable water. And owing to their
nonuniform distribution, some countries have abundant water resources, whereas
some others suffer from inadequate water, and even face severe water scarcity
problems. Moreover, serious water pollution problems make 1/5 of the world’s
population (approximately 1.1 billion people) under the risk of water-related
diseases.
In order to give a guideline to maintain
the required quality of water according to the intended use, a group of
international experts have come together to write this book. Authors target to
pass recent available knowledge and information to the readers, who will vary
from academicians, professional engineers and scientists, to undergraduate and
graduate engineering students concerned with water quality problems all over
the world.
This book covers the main fields of
Wastewater Treatment with 12 chapters, and uses knowledges in economic,
information technologies, biology, etc. to make comprehensive analyses and
applications.
